Stay
You're holding his hand, thinkin' how strange
'Cause when you left last spring, you swore you wouldn't do this again
He's breathing in, mechanical pace
And you act like you're not scared and you ask him to stay
And you wait 'til you're alone for the doubts to shape
Had you ever touched an ice-cold hand?
Confessed to a chaplain that you don't know where you stand
Avoidant eyes, shuffled feet
You're theocratically cast as a problem and told to leave
Tell me, what would they have done any differently?
So you walk, curse, and sing
You made a deal with God, He could take away anything
Candles lit, intercession's up
You hear his eyes shot open like a bullet through a cloud of dust
And you're glad and you pray
You send it up for a few good years and that he got to stay
'Cause when you left last spring, you swore you wouldn't do this again
He's breathing in, mechanical pace
And you act like you're not scared and you ask him to stay
And you wait 'til you're alone for the doubts to shape
Had you ever touched an ice-cold hand?
Confessed to a chaplain that you don't know where you stand
Avoidant eyes, shuffled feet
You're theocratically cast as a problem and told to leave
Tell me, what would they have done any differently?
So you walk, curse, and sing
You made a deal with God, He could take away anything
Candles lit, intercession's up
You hear his eyes shot open like a bullet through a cloud of dust
And you're glad and you pray
You send it up for a few good years and that he got to stay
